## javax.jms
Interface Queue

All Superinterfaces:
  Destination

All Known Subinterfaces:
  TemporaryQueue

public interface Queue
extends Destination

A `Queue` object encapsulates a provider-specific queue name. It is the way a client specifies the identity of a queue to JMS API methods. For those methods that use a `Destination` as a parameter, a `Queue` object used as an argument. For example, a queue can be used to create a `MessageConsumer` and a `MessageProducer` by calling:

- `Session.CreateConsumer(Destination destination)`
- `Session.CreateProducer(Destination destination)`

The actual length of time messages are held by a queue and the consequences of resource overflow are not defined by the JMS API.

See Also:
  `Session.createConsumer(Destination)`, `Session.createProducer(Destination)`, `Session.createQueue(String)`, `QueueSession.createQueue(String)`

Method Summary
`String` | `getQueueName()` Gets the name of this queue.
`String` | `toString()` Returns a string representation of this object.
